RedoDreamRedo@bookstodon.comJul 28, 2026, 7:29 AM@LewisWorkshop I know. But lately my book stacks fell on me, multiple times. They are attacking me now. ;__;

@frobozz it's because sometimes, when the conditions are just right, and the books are restless, you can hear the pages whispering to each other in the background.
It's also because books are magic. They transport your mind to other places, and change the way you think. Music is magic, too. Music moves your heart and changes your mood. Putting two powerful types of magic together can do dangerous and unexpected things.

A home library also saves books from being fatally ingested into the slop factory

Jigme DatseJigmeDatse@social.openpsychology.netJul 30, 2026, 5:31 AM@LewisWorkshop@mastodon.online I'd recommend having this on all walls to as great an extent as possible. Sometimes even more than a single layer of them is useful if you don't have enough walls.

And my poetry
To protect me
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no one
and no one touches me-Paul Simon, "I am a Rock"

But what if the books you are reading speak about reality. It's not always a bad thing.
